I've been a QA Automation Engineer for 15 years. This is the best thread ever on HN! I've read every single comment. I've found the best approach is for QAs to be embedded right into the product team - where the product tea

I need to update my home hot water heater. I'd like a tankless instant hot water heater. Despite wanting to do my part for climate change, all indications point me towards getting as natural gas unit instead of electric.

Technically, from your own numbers... Denmarks intermittent renewables (wind + solar) is 43%. Germany is 34%. Biofuel & Hydro are not intermittent. I don't know, that's pretty impressive. Maybe they have international conne

I agree, but not with the "50%" number. “Without technological breakthroughs in efficient, large scale energy storage, it will be difficult to rely on intermittent renewables for much more than 20-30 percent of our electricity.” S

Hey, I'm also from Ontario and looking to change jobs for the right price. Any suggestions for where I should start? Should I be looking mostly at American companies with USD pay? Should I be using a Canadian recruiter? My current

Agreed. I've travelled a lot with my wife (We've been to 24 countries). I enjoy travelling with someone. A few times, I travelled alone... it's kind of boring alone. There are lots of people who say positive words about t

Somewhat related, the GDPR regulations do explicitly spell out that unsubscribing from an email list should be clear and simple. Ideally, the same kind of regulation could be put in place for stopping a service on the internet (like NYT).

hmm, I'm still confused. Are you saying there are just too many APIs and my app's little API is insignificant in a world overflowing with APIs? What if several customers want access to my API? Is there an alternative that I sho

Indeed. I wish there was more nuance here. This has been the second worst year of my 39 years on this planet... but, with that said, I'm not depressed, just kind of shitty.

I totally agree. Apple is great for privacy - and that's important to me - but I'm slowly starting to think I might move to something else. Sadly, it seems my only real option is Android. I miss windows phone and blackberry.
